新概念英语第二册第71课:A famous clockLesson 71 A famous clock一个著名的大钟First listen and then answer the question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Has Big Ben ever gone wrong?When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but is extremely accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down!参考译文当你游览伦敦时，首先看到的东西之一就是“大本”钟，即那座从英国广播公司的广播中全世界都可以听到它的声音的著名大钟。

新概念二71课作文答案英文回答：In Lesson 71 of New Concept English, the topic is about the importance of learning a foreign language. Personally, I believe that learning a foreign language is not only beneficial but also necessary in today's globalized world.Firstly, learning a foreign language opens up a whole new world of opportunities. It allows us to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds. For example, if I can speak Mandarin, I can easily communicate with people from China and understand their culture better. This can lead to new friendships, business opportunities, and even job prospects.Secondly, learning a foreign language enhances our cognitive abilities. It has been proven that bilingual individuals have better problem-solving skills and are more creative. This is because learning a new language requiresus to think outside the box and adapt to differentlinguistic structures. For instance, when I was learning French, I had to understand the grammatical rules and apply them in real-life situations. This improved my overall cognitive skills and made me more flexible in my thinking.Furthermore, learning a foreign language can also boost our career prospects. In today's globalized job market, employers highly value individuals who are proficient in multiple languages. For example, if I am applying for a job in an international company, knowing a foreign language such as Spanish or German can give me a competitive edge over other candidates. This is because I can communicate with clients from different countries and understand their needs better.In conclusion, learning a foreign language is not only important but also necessary in today's globalized world.It opens up opportunities, enhances cognitive abilities, and improves career prospects. Therefore, I strongly believe that everyone should invest their time and effortin learning a foreign language.中文回答：新概念英语第71课是关于学习外语的重要性。
